         <description><![CDATA[<p>Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is an act that was renamed in 1990. The act established a new approach by referring to students with special needs using person-first language. It also required schools to provide FAPE in public school building and mandated that children with disabilities be educated with non disabled children in the same class whenever possible. </p><p><br/></p><p>This act benefits students like Sady by creating an inclusive education promoting social interaction and reducing stigma.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi, I agree that laws like the ADA have been transformative, but the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 2004 also played a crucial role in advancing assistive technology in education. This law emphasized providing a free appropriate public education (FAPE) tailored to the individual needs of students with disabilities.</p><p>For example, IDEA 2004 has greatly benefited students like Sady, who has cerebral palsy. This act ensures that she has access to an Individualized Education Program (IEP) that includes assistive technologies such as switch control and text-to-speech software. These tools enable Sady to participate fully in her education and excel in her passion for video editing.</p><p>IDEA 2004 continues to build on earlier legislation, ensuring that students with disabilities receive the support they need to thrive academically and creatively.</p>]]></description>
